The workers, however, were not forced; rather they chose to work the overtime, albeit by dire economical necessity. (revision)
Yes. Unless the workers were surveyed and reported their choices that is at least OR and it pushes a POV. --EpochFail (talk • contribs) 18:34, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Depends Possibly an OR or POV issue, depending on what the source says and how authoritative it is. (t · c) buidhe 12:53, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

The rare surviving pieces of Nantgarw porcelain are considered today to be among the most valuable artefacts ever produced in Wales, and are among the most exquisite examples of British Porcelain ever made. (revision)
Yes.(ish), it definitely needs a "who?" template after "most valuable artefacts ever produced in Wales". If an RS says that, and there's reference, I'd have no problem with it. Red Fiona (talk) 09:18, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Discussion[edit]

It all depends on where in the article the statement is: if followed by another sentence with citation it is not an issue; ditto if in the lead of the article (MOS:LEADCITE, not required.) I doubt that AI helps with this problem. (t · c) buidhe 01:22, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

What is this for?[edit]

We (User:Sumit.iitp and User:EpochFail) are developing algorithmic strategies to help editors identify issues in articles. We're getting close to a method that we think works pretty well. We need your help to evaluate how close we are getting. We need your insights about what the algorithm is catching/missing in order to make sure we're on the right track and to make sure it is useful.
